November 15. The Judges were nnanimous In se lecting Hines' cartoon, printed at the top of this page, as the beat of the great number sent in by soldiers In cantonments throughout the country. The selection was not easy, as all of the cartoons printed on this page and a number of others were considered as worthy of a prise or honorable mention. Hines' cartoon was not only well drawn, but it was regarded as having more punch and humor than any of the others. The artist bad a good Idea and "got it over" in good style, according to the Judges.

The six sketches of soldier life drawn by J. B. Hayee, 53rd Field Artillery, Brigade Headquarters, Camp Sevier, Greenville, South Carolina, were clever, well done and amusing. S. G. Pasternackl, Second Provisional Aero Squad, Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas, contributed an original drawing which doubtless pic turizea the thoughts of many sol* diers and will hit their funny bone. J.
